GXO Logistics signed a multi-year Robots-as-a-Service agreement with Agility Robotics on June 27, 2024, following a late-2023 proof-of-concept pilot. The agreement placed Digit in a live warehouse environment for GXO at a SPANX facility, working alongside employees and other cobots on tote movement.

Agility was co-founded by Damion Shelton and Jonathan Hurst, growing out of Oregon State University legged-robotics work. The company raised $150 million in Series B funding in April 2022, led by DCVC and Playground Global, with Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund also joining the investor group.

Agility announced RoboFab, its humanoid factory in Salem, Oregon, in September 2023, describing a facility designed for peak capacity above 10,000 robots per year. Source

Digit moves totes at GXO. Agility Arc manages deployment and fleet operation under the RaaS agreement.
